Default CRX VTi Starting Problem

Hi,

I have a J reg CRX import with an intermittent starting problem. Sometimes is starts & sometimes not. My local garage can't work it out. Could is be something to do with the immobilizer?

When it doesn't start, the fuel pump is not being engaged. I could wait 5 minutes & then it starts again OK. Anyone heard of this? Could it be a faulty immobilzer? Is it to do with the fact its an import? Are there any specialist Honda/import garages that could help?

Thanks for any help.

Is it a VTEC?

Sounds like a main relay problem to me. Easy fix if you're handy with a soldering iron.

There is a full write up at

That's the main relay problem, all right. As Mark said, read teh write-up and get the soldering iron out.
